Career

The brothers grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, surrounded by music from a young age, thanks to their father Jay Clementi’s successful songwriting career writing for country singers Martina McBride, Darius Rucker, Dierks Bentley,[3] Sara Evans, Luke Bryan, Sunny Sweeney[4] and many others.[5]

While performing at local charity events in Nashville, the duo was discovered by country superstar Luke Bryan[6] who helped them with music industry connections.[2]

CB30 released their debut single “Marina,” in 2016 along with a music video in which Bryan had a cameo.[7]

The duo’s second single, “Cool If You Wanna” was released on November 10, 2017[8] via Buena Vista Records - a partnership between Universal Music Group Nashville and Disney Music Group.[1] It features Christian, Jay Clementi, Tyler Posey, Coutinho twins and Jim McCormick as songwriters on the track.[2][9]

In December 2017, CB30 released a cover of the popular Christmas carol “The Christmas Song” and performed the song during ABC’s CMA Country Christmas at the Grand Ole Opry.[2][10]

The duo released their third song “Like It’s A Bad Thing,” written by Christian and Jay Clementi and Kevin Bard,[11] in April 2018.[12] They made their debut performance with the song at the 2018 Stagecoach Festival on the SiriusXM Spotlight Stage.[13][14]

In June 2018, CB30 performed during CMA Fest at the Radio Disney Country Stage.[15]

The brothers identify Ed Sheeran and The Everly Brothers as some of their influences. Their debut album was originally expected in 2018, but was never released.[1]
